Instead of dredging up an old post, just started this one for my reloading bench picture. I THINK it turned out well, getting everything nice and level was ... fun, to say the least. I made it with a 2ft x 4ft top, standing 36" high and with shelves constructed from 1" x 8" with 9" spacing between levels. I use the shelf ends to hang cleaning rods and other goodies. Under the bottom shelf is where I store my Lyman Turbo 1200. Cost me about $75 in materials, and I think it should be quite large enough until I grow into reloading. I bought a bunch of index card boxes at WalMart for .79 each and marked the ends for brass storage, noting brass make and whether primed or not.
Oh, rifle on shelf is my new Stevens 200 in 7mm-08 w/Nikon ProStaff BDC scope mounted, gave me 1.4" groups @ 100yds using Federal Fusions. Those things are a bit stout for 7mm-08 factory ammo!

Great looking bench. It looks alot more organized than mine. I just moved and I need to get mine straightened up. Tom.

Thanks, knowing myself, it probably won't stay that neat for too long. Exspecially after I start getting more toys. Or you can just send me some of yours to help ya straighten your bench up. Just as a personal favor to you, of course.

Nice clean, efficient setup you have. I won'tpost pictures of my bench right now, it'd be embarrassing.

Looks like a good strong bench

Don't worry, before long you will have more crap than you know what to do with, and will have to build a bench twice that size, AND keep that one, just so you can see all of your stuff. I currently only load for 4 calibers, and have total space taken up to easily be 2 times that much room, maybe more.

Bench does look very nice though.

Im happy to see Im not the only one who's bench neads some straighening up. Usually it takes about 3 days after cleaning up and mine's a mess.

Well mine is so messed up that I've decided to move! I'm moving it into an 8'x12' utility building as soon as I can get it insulated and finished. I'm going to have benches across one end and down one side to mount tools on with shelves above and below the work benches. I may finally get into shot shell reloading, as I've wanted to for some time but hadn't the room.

I made a bench out of four 2"x12"x10' boards and I already need another one the same size!! My Mini-Lathe and shotgun shell reloader takes up quite a bit of room.

Here's part of my reloading....messy ?........yes!
It's a man thingbut it's used alot.....but very now and then I'll give it a good cleaning[8D]
